Akṣapaṭal-ādhipati, officer in charge of accounts and records.
Akṣapaṭala means ‘accounts office’ (Stein) or ‘records office’
(Bühler). There is Grām-ākṣapaṭalika in the Harṣacarita (VII, para.
2) probably meaning the Paṭvārī, and a section on the superin-
tendent of the akṣapaṭala in the Arthaśāstra (II. 7). See Ep.
Ind., Vol. XX, p. 128; Vol. IX, p. 305. Cf. Mahākṣapaṭalika.
